Implantable pressure monitor

摘要

A system and method for the intra corporal, measuring of blood pressure includes a substantially rigid sensor structure and an antenna structure, which are separate components. The anchor structure is used to mount the within an appropriate location in the cardiovascular system, such as in the cardiac septum. The substantially rigid sensor structure includes at least one capacitive pressure sensor. Measured values are transmitted telemetrically from the sensor structure to an extra corporal monitoring device.
